🚚 GitHub Migrations

CSI portcos move to GitHub from Bitbucket Server / Cloud, Azure DevOps Repos, GitLab, and Subversion.

> 📧 Planning a migration? Email > [DevsAtCSI@microsoft.com](mailto:DevsAtCSI@microsoft.com) > first. We'll match you with the right tooling, runbook, and (if needed) > migration partner — instead of you piecing it together from docs alone.

> 📝 Already decided to move? Kick off the engagement by filling out the > Volaris Migrate to GitHub signup form > — the GitHub @ CSI team uses this to scope, prioritize, and pair you with > the right migration support.

🏷 CSI Pricing (35%) via Azure Billing

CSI portfolio companies qualify for 35% off GitHub Enterprise Cloud and GitHub Copilot (Business and Enterprise) — but only when billing flows through an Azure subscription tied to your portco, your operating group, or CSI.

> ⚠️ Credit-card billing on GitHub is NOT eligible for the CSI discount. > Personal credit cards and PayPal payment methods on a GitHub enterprise > account do not qualify. To get the 35% rate, the GitHub enterprise account > must be connected to an Azure subscription owned by your portco, your > operating group, or CSI.

> ✅ Two benefits of the Azure-billed path: > > 1. 35% discount on GitHub Enterprise Cloud and GitHub Copilot > (Business / Enterprise) SKUs. > 2. Prioritized GitHub support — Azure-connected CSI enterprises are > routed through the GitHub @ CSI team at Microsoft, who can escalate > tickets and coordinate directly with GitHub product and support teams. > Enterprises billed outside this path do not get this CSI-routed > escalation benefit.

Eligible SKUs

• GitHub Enterprise Cloud
• GitHub Copilot Business
• GitHub Copilot Enterprise
